Some of the roles that are challenging are more in theater and TV. In movies, there's a tendency to cast actors in roles that have been successful for them. It has to pay for itself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written - then it's completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor.
The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
I know actors who have had to turn down good roles because they just don't pay enough. It's hard.
Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.
The hard thing is making sure you work with wonderful people and that you get something out of it so that you can get better as an actor.
Actors in general have become very spoiled in the roles they choose these days. When I first started in this profession - about a hundred years ago in the last century - it was all about taking risks, it was about doing the job and honing the craft.
You fight for certain roles, and you realise they're being filled by television and film actors, because theatre is constantly fighting for survival and they need names and faces and ticket sales.
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
I think, for every actor, the most challenging part of playing a character, specially a real-life character, is to convince yourself that you are the character.
